Three chapters have been edited. I will post a brief synopsis when it is a little further along in the editing phase.

I have just written to two companies that manufacture wooden pencils and toys. We would like to have some donated so we can take them with us for the kids in Tanzania. Any other ideas?

Plan Tanzania just confirmed that our visit to the schools is scheduled for February 3. We will see where the well has been dug and meet with a family that will benefit directly from it. We will also see the school administrators raise the Canadian flag that we carried to Kili’s peak. Oh, and we are going to do a short safari. Can’t wait!

I will be posting some updates as our book, tentatively called “Climbing Kilimanjaro and Making a Difference” is edited and nears publication. The editing process has started. Lots of work ahead but it is going to be fun! Stay tuned!

We had a great turnout and reasonable weather for the 2nd annual Kilimanjaro Golf Fore Kids Tournament. A little over $4000 will be going to Plan Canada for building classrooms in Mwanza, Tanzania. Thanks to Debbie for organizing the tournament and to all volunteers and participants for being there. Photos will be coming soon.

No, that is not a typo. Ford has donated $10,000 towards a new car if you get a hole-in-one at the 2nd annual Kilimanjaro Golf Fore Kids tournament this Saturday at Lombard Glen in Smiths Falls. They have also donated a set of ladies and men’s Callaway golf clubs for a different hole. No-one will get a hole-in-one you say!!?? Well, I saw it a couple of years ago in a tournament. It does happen. Come out and give it a try.

I have been working on a book, with input from Chris, about our adventure climbing Kilimanjaro and helping the kids in Mwanza. The working tftle is “Climbing Kilimanjaro and Making a Difference”. I am discovering it is a lot of work but the manuscript has been sent for editing. I will keep you posted on progress.

It is time to register for the 2nd annual Kilimanjaro Golf Fore Kids Tournament to be held at Lombard Glen Golf and Country Club on August 21. This one promises to be full of fun and surprises and hopefully no rain (although the last part is not guaranteed). You can sign up on the website at www.kilimanjarogolfforekids.com. Just click on ‘Contacts”. As usual, all proceeds go to building the school in Mwanza. We hope to see you there.
